Carl Gwartney flew this plane (only larger) into
Holland during the invasion. As far as can be determined this is the only
perfect scale model of an actual CG4 troop carrying glider as used in the
Market Garden operation. This was dangerous business. It took him three weeks
to make his way thru German lines and into Belgium where he could bum a ride
back to England. They all thought him a goner.

This guy had better bail out. He must be in the
hanger.

This beautiful Douglas DC-3 was "rekitted" a few minutes later.
One engine failed on landing and it snap rolled into the pavement. All that
is left is the picture.

This guy is hanging by his teeth. Maybe he is
the same idiot who couldn't get out of the plane before it flew into the
hangar.

Ron Kriege, VP of the First Weedwacker Aerosquadron owns this
beauty. His wife, Donna is a fully accomplished model aircraft flyer AND
a beautician. She is mighty pretty too.

This gorgeous model was seen at the Palomar scale fly-in this
fall (2000). The Palomar fliers are all superb scale builders. These planes
must be seen to be believed.

This magnificent scale model of a WWI Fokker D7 was built
by Ray Menegus and was originally flown with electric power. It has now been
converted to alcohol (gas) and flys just the way the Red Baron wants it to
fly.
